Pomegranate Seeds With No Mess! December 19 2012, 0 Comments

Pomegranate seeds are delicious, but they can be
messy. Here’s a quick tip for how to seed a pomegranate the easy and fun way,
with no mess!

My kids love our secret
trick for how to remove pomegranate seeds. It’s a fun, no mess activity and the
reward at the end is a delicious bowl of tangy, crunchy pomegranate seeds that
you can use in salads, sauces or just simply enjoy on their own.

How to Seed a Pomegranate with No Mess

Step 1: Slice the
pomegranate in half and place in a large bowl of cold water.

Step 2: Working under the
water, break apart the fruit using your fingers to release the pomegranate
seeds from the membrane.

Step 3: Like magic, the
membranes float to the top and the seeds sink to the bottom.

Step 4: Pour off the membrane filled water,
rinse the seeds in a sieve and you’ve got a beautiful batch of pomegranate
seeds ready to use in salads, cakes, or this deliciously simple cranberry
pomegranate sauce.

is your favorite way to enjoy pomegranate seeds?
